In a haunted forest town, a murderer-turned-detective must solve a cold case of vanished victims when a bloodied amnesiac returns after seven years — unaware that her violent alternate personality "Sunshine" holds the only clues to the masked killer hunting them both.
SYNOPSIS:
In the rain-drenched town of Graybridge, solitary detective Selvis Locke — a former vigilante killer whose own revenge murders remain unsolved — is pulled into a chilling cold case when Halley Brown returns after seven years missing. Blood-stained and covered in forest mud, she remembers nothing of her ordeal… except through "Sunshine," a violent protective alter personality that surfaces in moments of danger and reveals haunting nightmares of the victims' bodies left on a remote hill.
Teaming with a sharp young constable and guided by cryptic warnings from the town's shunned seer, Old Mira, Locke uncovers a hidden connection between the disappeared. As he and Halley venture deep into the haunted forest to find the killer's hidden empire, they are separated by a masked predator wielding an axe.
Sunshine takes brutal control. Yet moments later, Locke awakens tied to a chair in darkness. The masked figure turns on the light, leans in, and whispers:
"So… shall we start the game?"
LOCKE-D: Sunshine is the gripping first installment of a dark psychological crime thriller trilogy laced with supernatural horror, where trauma forges both protectors and predators

Emmanuel Jomy Emmanuel, this is a compelling and layered thriller concept with strong psychological and mystery elements. The combination of a detective with a dark past and an amnesiac tied to a fragmented identity creates immediate intrigue, and the duality between hunter and hunted is particularly engaging.
The logline is rich with ideas, but it feels slightly overloaded, making it harder for the central hook to land cleanly. There are multiple strong elements competing for attention streamlining the core conflict could significantly improve clarity and impact.
The character dynamics and internal conflict are clearly a strength here, especially the idea of a protective alternate personality holding key answers. Emphasizing one primary narrative thread in the logline would help highlight what makes the story unique.
Overall, a strong and atmospheric concept with clear genre appeal that could stand out even more with a tighter, more focused presentation.
